10.03.2023 - Art - Making Paper

We have been super busy today!  As well as finishing our awesome writing - we have been making our own version of papyrus paper.   We followed these steps:

  1. Rip the paper into strips about one inch wide and roughly the same length (ripping against a ruler edge helps to keep the strips straight).
  2. Dip a paper strip into the bowl of watery PVA,  making sure it is fully immersed. As you lift it out, run your index finger and thumb down the strip of paper to take off any excess glue.
  3. Lay the strips side-by-side vertically onto your working area, making sure the edges are slightly overlapping. Keep going across to the end of the working area. 
  4. Apply a second layer of strips but at a right angle, laying them horizontally on top of the first layer. 
  5. Leave your paper on the backing surface and put it somewhere to completely dry.

09.12.2022 - Stop Motion Animators

This term, in computing, we have been working on stop motion animation.  We started by considering whether we could make pictures move before moving on to making simple flip book animations.  Later in the term, we used some Roman themed settings and characters to make our own stop motion animations before editing them in iMovie to include sound and/or text in our final session.
